Day 186 (04 Nov 24) 

More tempo work today (6i into the net)….did notice that the more I “thought” about it, the less solid the strike.  Side bar - thinking it might be time for a new target flag (the hole 1st appeared Thurs and has now grown to look rather “scowled in appearance”):  IMG_8481.jpeg.4accdc7c74694ec276843968af00c216.jpeg

Finished up with sone bump and runs with the 6i in the backyard…

Day 35 - 2024-11-04

Hit balls with many breaks over the course of two hours. Wrist is feeling a little better, but ulnar deviation still twinges. I did the first two levels of Operation 36 and passed, duh. 25 and 50 yards. Would have been easier if putting was real. 😄

Day 110: some mirror work today. Working on the same stuff. It also snowed, so probably indoor only stuff for a whole… sigh…

Day 36 - 2024-11-05

Went downtown for a little over three hours. 90 minutes of that was doing other stuff, but I got a little practice in. Some messing with GSPro (v3 is now out) and the settings, some chipping, some little stuff. Not a ton of full swing stuff, and what I did there was mostly backswing stuff.

Day 187 (05 Nov 24) -  Got in some time with the 4&5 hybrids in the backyard - hitting hard foam balls.  Rehearsing preshot routine, focusing on tempo, by reenacting some of the shorter par 4s at my regular course - hybrid off the tee, hybrid approaches.

Day 111: putted on my mat while listening to a conference call. Working on the handle being more upright at address, and feeling the weight a bit more in my heels.

Day 188 (06 Nov 24) - Played the Weds men’s group scramble today as I won’t be able to play Fri.  Our group started on the back nine - shot a PB 38 on the back (7pars and 2 bogies). 2-over at the turn and reality returns with a dbl-par-dbl start.  Settle down to 3 pars, 3 bogies, a tap in birdie that missed eagle by less than 2 inches.   IMG_8495.thumb.jpeg.ec6500676ad6e341ef7c1ef90b6ca074.jpeg
 This was on 7, nice drive with 110 to the flag (this is normally a Pw for me, but the weaker lofts the the DCI irons had me play up to the 9i.  Solid swing and it rolls this close).   I was playing the old DCI 962 irons w/Rifle 6.0 shafts - man those things are still some sweet playing irons. 

Finished with +6 on the front for a 42 and overall score of 80.

Day 189 (07 Nov 24) - Played nine with my friend Mike - mixed the bag down to a 7-club setup (3w, 4h, 6i, 8i, Pw, 54 & P).  Goal: play more irons into the hole.  Played one set of tees forward. Shot a 41 (6 bogies, 2 pars and 1 chip in birdie).  Had other looks at birdie (two of which turned into 3 putt bogies off lipped out pars.  Even with the struggles with the putting, I enjoyed the challenge of having “in-between” distances - and choosing between a club that goes too far and one that may get there if struck well.  Excellent session on course management and shot planning.

Day 38 - 2024-11-07

Did a little HackMotion work to test some things out. My wrists hinge, seemingly, WAY more than they should. 😄

Day 190 (08 Nov 24) - Worked with the putter this morning, while watching the Champions Tour on the Golf Channel, working right hand - higher/lower - finding a slightly higher right hand seems to add more consistent roll.  Later today moved outside to work with tempo and slightly shorter backswing to get better low point control - hitting 6i into the net.  Solid session except for the next to last ball that I got over the net and into the wild blue yonder….managed to sheepishly retrieve it from the neighbor’s back yard two doors down….

Limited time so a little work at home. Wrist and thumb were "so so" today.

    • Day 312 - Better finishing position, fuller backswing, PRGR to see how swing speed was. 
    • Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good. 
    • Sure, but how was your alignment? 🙂 Day 53 - 2024-11-22 Mirror work after getting back home. Wife is a superstar for her career/job/whatever.
    • I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
    • Day 128: played 9. Nice little even 9, with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys.
